needs to be checked that it’s perfectly level.
Hot storage cupboard with removable assisted ‘Sahara’ fan heating
unit (Refer to page 6 for details on how to remove Sahara fan). Unit is
fitted with removable sliding doors & removable rodded shelves, which
are split into manageable sections to ease cleaning and maintenance.
The hot cupboard is excellent for preheating Plates & Dishes, as well as
the temporary storage of precooked food whilst service is in progress
e.g. Cooked meats/poultry, vegetables, sauces, etc.

1. Hold the door at a slight angle (Fig 3) & locate the door fully into the top track.
2. Holding the door in the top track, swing the bottom of the door inwards until it
comes in contact with the rear of the bottom track.
3. Gently lower the door into the bottom track, & slide the door fully to the left.
3: Door Installation & Removal
The fitment of the outer door
(Door B) is the same as above,
except when lowered into the
bottom track slide it fully to
the right. Note: It’s imperative
the doors must be fitted in
correct order as shown in fig 2
Door ‘A’ first then Door ‘B’.
Door removal is a reverse of
the above.
4. After this time period has elapse, readjust the cupboard temperature by
turning knob anti-clockwise to desired holding temperature. Containers
with ‘cooked’ food can now be loaded (Remember to close doors)
5. When serving is complete all switches should be turned

4: Sahara Fan Installation & Removal
The Sahara-Fan heater fitted provides excellent balanced heating
coupled with energy savings. The unit can be easily removed & replaced
for cleaning or maintenance as it has a simple bayonet & clip fastening
system. The diagrams below demonstrate the removal of the hot
cupboard Sahara fan. As the fan is located in the base of the cupboard,
access to the Plug & socket is via the underside of the unit (fig 4).
1. Locate the fixing clip on the ‘Male’ plug fitted to the
Sahara fan & unclip as shown in (fig 4a)
2. Prise the female socket o the plug (fig 4b)
3. Remove as many rodded shelf sections as needed to allow
access to the Sahara fan. Lift out at a slight angle taking
care not to damage the plug attached to the fan (fig 5)
Although not shown in figure 5; the Sahara fan supplied has
a protective St/steel cover over the top air intake. This shields
the fan innards from any food or liquid spillage from above.
Fitting is a reversal of the above.
When fitting the socket into the plug on the fan, take
care to line up the locating protrusion on the ‘Male’ plug
with the locating cut-out on the Female socket (Fig 4c).

5: Bain-Marie Operation
This Bain-Marie well can be used either dry or wet heat with an
inset well designed to accomodate various combinations of
interchangable gastronome type pans up to 150mm deep. Bain-marie
units are designed to keep pre-cooked food at serving temperature
and are suitable for the display of most types of hot foods.
1. First check the drain valve inside the left-hand
door of the hot-cupboard is in the closed position.
2. Remove the Bain-Marie container situated
directly above the ‘water level indicator’.
3. Carefully fill well with water up to the water level
indicator [approximately 20mm deep].
These units are not designed to cook
raw food or to heat up cold food.
E&R Moat Ltd. were the originators of a Bain-Marie that could be
either wet or dry heat. This type of system was designed to oer
flexibility and was developed to eliminate the need to fit a low water
level warning system or the expense of replacing burned out elements.
Wet Heat:
Water level is an economic, 20mm deep [water level mark
on side of well], complete with drain valve and swing-out, run-o
tube for easy emptying & cleaning.
Before using the unit for the first time, check the unit is level.
Filling Well:
If required to top up the water level in mid
service, use suitable heat insulated gloves
when removing the hot Bain-Marie container.
Do not over fill with water. Too much water
will impinge on performance and eciency.

4. Replace container and switch on.
5. Turn Bain-Marie control knob to No. 3 (No. 3 is full on).
6. Turn Hot-Cupboard control knob to 110°C.
7. Leave to heat up for approximately 45 minutes
before filling containers with cooked food produce.
The correct serving temperature is dependant on
the food type, amount of food in container, etc. Do
not remove lids until service is due to commence.
8. After 45 minutes, adjust control knobs to the desired settings.
Recommended settings are Bain-Marie 2 or 3 and Hot-Cupboard to 90°C.
9. When serving is complete, all switches should be turned o.
10. To maintain the life of this product, all surfaces need
cleaning regularly with a damp cloth.
Dry Heat:
Dry heat works in the same way without any water in the
well. Heat up time will be around 30 min.
The base of the well will distort slightly and discolour
when used dry. This is normal.
Draining well:
1. Switch o & disconnect unit from mains power,
then wait until water cools down to room temperature.
2. Open to the hot cupboard left hand door fully & securely
place a suitable size container under the flexible drain hose.
3. Open drain valve & fill container.
4. Switch o valve & empty container when full
in a suitable place. Repeat until well is empty.
